Laravel sending no-cache header

Question

I'm having trouble with Laravel 4. Somehow the header

Cache-Control: no-cache 

Is always being sent in the response on all pages within my site. I can't find where or how to change it.

Since this is affecting all my controllers where I'm presenting a view with View::Make I would really like a way to change this globally.

If you want to use Cache, you can change its behavior in your "Response" object (returned by a controller method in this example) :

public function myControllerMethod() {
    $response = Response::make('something');
    $response->setLastModified(new DateTime("now"));
    $response->setExpires(new DateTime("tomorrow"));
    return $response;
}

It works in my environnement, I hope it will help.

EDIT:

If you want to set it globally, you can try this (in app/start/ directory):

App::after(function($request, $response) {
    $response->setLastModified(new DateTime("now"));
    $response->setExpires(new DateTime("tomorrow"));
});
